Mr Johnson Logic Drags NSMQ Mistress Over Dancing Comment
Mr Logic has criticized Professor Elsie Effah Kaufmann, the quiz mistress of The National Science and Math Quiz, for a comment she made during an interview with Bola Ray on Starr FM.
During his appearance on United Showbiz on UTV, Mr Logic expressed his support for ATWAG and demanded an apology from Professor Kaufmann.
He believes that she should apologize in order to pacify the situation. Mr Logic also emphasized that having book knowledge does not necessarily equate to wisdom. He stated that while professors may possess knowledge, they may not necessarily possess wisdom.
“She has to apologise to calm everyone down… Book knowledge is not always wisdom; book knowledge is called knowledge, and wisdom is wisdom. There are professors who are knowledgeable but are not wise.
“We are blessed with wisdom, knowledge and understanding but she lacked the two at that point, which is why she said that. Because if the two were intact, before she said it, she would have considered the fact that it’s a creative case,” he said.
Mr Logic further lamented the way some people in academia tend to look down on creatives.
“I like the way she conducts the quiz. But when I saw what she said, I was disappointed. She shouldn’t undermine us; many creatives went to school. Did she think only jobless people are in the creative space?
“If you look at some professors and doctors, the money people in the creative sector make, they wouldn’t be able to make that amount throughout their lives. But they undermine some of these creative people and label them as jobless. I was offended when I saw the story, she has to apologize to us,” Mr Logic admitted.
